Hi...My husband and I have been using a simulator for a few weeks now, and feel ready to officially trade.
We loved the layout and easy reading from the simulator we used....www.top10traders.com
Has anyone ever used etrade.com?? I need to be home and want to pay as little commission as possible, if that is possible.
Can anyone direct us?
Thanks....

There is no payoff by daytrading. It takes serious education and understanding of what is going on the world to succeed at it..... think about it everybody in the world is trying to figure this out. The best thing to do is to invest in solid stocks and let them grow over time. Invest in IRAs and such. Then well yea....... put aside a bit of money that you can absolutly afford to lose and play with it. You will gain an education regarding money and be prepared later to invest the bulk of what you have. So many people start trading and then wonder how they lost it all.... just a word of caution. For mucking around......... E-trade is the best. You might pay a tad more but they are a good solid reputable company as oppossed to the discount houses which are iffy at best.

Give Scottrade a look. They have a pay-extra browser for traders that has lots of bells and whistles that ought to float your boat, and I think I recall that they had a special commission schedule for day traders, but I don't day trade.

I personally use E-trade and it's great. They offer a lot of different services/tools and commissions are good.

scottrade is very good.........you are probably in for a big surprise when you start to trade and find out actually how hard it is. there is a big difference between trading on top10traders and trading with real money......only trade with money that you can afford to lose becase that is probably what is going to happen...at least for a few years
